Energized?

Well is was 116 degrees outside yesterday. How do you get energized to do anything?

I started out early scrubbing our bathroom, cleaning out drawers and cabinets and washing rugs. I proceeded on to our bedroom to dust and sweep but I was wearing out fast.  Terry jumped in the fray and we cleaned all the leather furniture in the den and he did the floors while I dusted and did the glass. Today I will face the kitchen!

I am not sure we were ever 'energized' but we had to do it. Including changing bedsheets and washing the mattress pad and both the winter and summer quilts. Normally I send them north to NY where I bought them and they launder them and do repairs on them.

But Energized??  We headed out after lunch to the post office around 3:30 yesterday.  The car temp outside read 110 as we left our lake home but by the time we arrived in town it was 116 degrees. Never in my life have I ever seen or been in 116 degrees.   Lord, what are you telling us?

We stopped at the grocery store while we were in town to buy a few things needed for meals today.  Terry spotted vanilla wafers and raised his eyebrows inquiring, "Can we make banana pudding?"  There truly is no 'we' in that but God and me unless you count Terry carrying the vanilla wafers in the bag into the house.  I have a wonderful homemade recipe and thankfully had some lactose free milk so I could enjoy a few bites of it.  Yes God provided the energy for me to prepare this last night at 6 pm.



Pure energy is the power of God. If I am in the right place spiritually, He will always provide exactly what I need to complete the work I face.  My strength is His strength.  Remembering to use this not just for personal but to use my force for good by sharing my talents with others.

Secondly remembering to rest and not become weak. The knowledge He has provided gives us guidance as to working and resting with a balance in our lives. We learn not to worry about things we cannot control. We learn to let go and let God. Using the wisdom from my life's experiences, I use discernment in choosing the work I need to do.

Every journey begins with small steps. I will make mine daily with God going before me as my guide.

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
